Still Waiting
Inspired by What Comes Back challenge
Thinking about what comes back
Came, is, remains back
Once upon a time gone
Left me in the dark
Leaves me in the dark
Because I can't recall a single thing
That came back to me
Not recently
Not noteworthy
Not that doesn't leave again
Immediately
Like my confidence
When I need it most
Is but a ghost
Telling me what I already know
That I will do it differently
As soon as it is over.
Or perhaps there is something I left
Forgotten to me now
Most likely
And I'm still waiting for its return
Without knowing
Without snowing
Frosted thoughts of frozen time
Frozen in time
For they have not followed alongside
As I do my best
To improve my life

The Irony of Flying While We Bomb the "World's Greatest Terror Regime"
Ah, the irony of flying at this moment in time as the United States is simultaneously bombing Iran - the nation officials have insisted for decades is "The World's Greatest Terror Regime" - while the TSA is on a go-slow, courtesy of a funding squeeze that's left its officers unpaid, quitting in droves, and turning checkpoints into something like slow-moving bread lines.
